2000 Toyota Celica GTS review from North America

Nothing and not anticipating any problems either - be careful of the front spoiler when parking at convenience stores (curbs)!!!

This car is definitely in need of a good driver to get the most out of it - the power curve (above 6k) can be maintained between shifts with a little practice, timing, and tricky footwork with the gas pedal... those questionably published times of 0-60 below 7 seconds might just be possible if you nail it.

The car just looks unique, sounds good when you floor it in the middle of the rpm range, and the handling is exceptional.. and the brakes - WOW - they weren't kidding when they said this is Porsche territory.

Inside the cockpit the styling is great and the leather is nice but I agree with some critics that there is some plastic inside - a little carbon fibre treatment would dress it up nicely.

So far I really enjoy driving this car - visibility is lacking to the rear but you should be turning to look anyway when switching lanes like they taught you in drivers school way back when.

This car in my opinion is only suitable in 6-speed form... if you want an automatic, get the GT or you are wasting your money on the GTS.

My experience with the dealer was excellent and exceeded my expectations.
